[Cross-posted from my proper gaming blog, because I don't love you enough.]
If there's one thing that can often be said about me, it's that I am rarely on the cutting edge of, well, anything. I've spent most of my life a f...

[Okay, so I decided to start my own off-Dtoid gaming blog, dorkily titled "The Gentleman Gamer," since I apparently enjoy pretentious oxymorons. I figure I may as well cross-post the opinion pieces here, since no one is lik...

I mean, seriously. If I get into a game of Left 4 Dead with you, and I get ahold of Francis, I ain't giving him up to any of you bastards. I mean, seriously? You think "dibs" is going to do anything? I fart on your goddamn ...

The Kids In The Hall and Portal. Two great tastes that go great together.
In the above video, posted to the Kids' MySpace channel, the other four Kids watch Scott Thompson (the gay one, if you're keeping score) playing Por...

In before BlindsideDork.
Yeah, not much to say about this, other than that IT'S REALLY FREAKING AWESOME. Someone modded Left 4 Dead to play on a completely opened up version of Team Fortress 2's Dustbowl map. Obviously, it...

Though my experience with them is sadly minimal, I'm a huge fan of sandbox games. The idea of being able to go wherever I want and do whatever I want is one of the greatest draws in all of gaming, for me. Mercenaries 2 is a...

I'm an unashamed Valve fanboy. I love just about everything they do and I would let Gabe Newell spoon me for a full week, if he so desired. My love runs especially deep for Team Fortress 2, as most of you well know. So, it'...

I don't think I ever realized that I had so much invested in this game. I've loved Star Wars to varying degrees ever since I was a small child, hiding my eyes whenever the rancor appeared on-screen. Naturally, I've purchase...

So, I was reading a nifty blog called Infinite Lives today, and I read something that blew my mind. Now, keep in mind that this will likely only blow your mind if you're from the UK or enjoy ample breasts or are a Tomb Raid...

Alice, over at her Wonderland blog, found this really freaking amazingly awesome piece of homemade Team Fortress 2 incredibleness: A Pyro candlestick holder. I cannot describe to you the levels of sheer want that this inspi...

As someone who has been rolling his eyes every time Dennis Dyack opens his mouth, I felt like I needed to give the Too Human demo a try, and subsequently ramble about it in a c-blog. If there's one thing that turns me off, ...

The Internet Freelance Shame Squad rides again! Seriously though, why is IGN popular? Furthermore, why is IGN still even operational? And further furthermore, exactly what form of alien life is the squid, then? Is their homeworld at war with the dolphins' planet? What would Admiral Ackbar do? Only Bale knows for sure.
(Thanks to Rock, Paper, Shotgun for reading IGN so we don't have to.)

For those who don't know, Kingdom of Loathing (KoL) is a text-based MMORPG. It's extremely low-tech, and 100% tongue-in-cheek, and if you don't like it, then you are a terrible human being. Technically, the game has been in...

It's about time Kingdom of Loathing got some coverage on here, even if it's just on the c-blogs. Why, you ask? What's my justification? Because it's awesome, that's why, bitch.
For those who don't know, Kingdom of Loathing...

Now, I can't recall what started this recent trend of posting our console gaming rigs. (Was it a contest? A monthly project? I don't remember.) Whatever it was, I've enjoyed seeing your setups. Some have been truly drool-wo...

Two video posts from me? In one day? Then you know the content has got to be amazing. And it is. You better fricking believe it. Anyway, if you deny this video is amazing, then you are no son of mine and you can get back in the basement, shecky.
USE ME, USE ME, USE ME, USE ME!!!

Ladies and gentlemen, I now present to you the computing rig of Mr. Matthew J. Sharpless Sanderson, VIII. Yes, the glorious laptop you see above is where I conjure up all my magnificently witty comments and my lusty, sexual...

Pardon the picture post, but I felt it was appropriate. Also, pardon the slightly diminished quality. Squint. It's good exercise for your eyelids.
For those who don't know, Dinosaur Comics is one of the five greatest thing...

For those unawares, Mystery Science Theater 3000 was-... Actually, scratch that. Anyone who doesn't know what MST3K is can die in a fire. Okay, perhaps that's a bit harsh. Two robots and a guy watch bad movies, funny happen...

[This is the first entry in what may or may not become a series of articles related to games and music. Next to gaming, music is my favorite form of entertainment evar. So, if you enjoy this, let me know. In fact, feel free...

When I was just a wee lad, I remember one of my first loves being that of The Transformers. I remember watching episodes of the original cartoon giddily, wishing I had been born a few years earlier so I could've bought all ...

Fresh from the supple, delicate lips of my dear, dear Surfer Girl, comes this piece of old news that is new news to me. (And I've scoured Dtoid from top to delicious bottom and I've found no mention of this beautiful game.)...

[Note: This is a repost. Here's why: First, I initially rushed and didn't take the time to polish this up. I was in a hurry to embark on my 18-hour Halo 3 extravaganza and I cut some corners. Secondly, only two people saw i...

"What the hell is this crap?" you ask? If you've spent ten minutes around me in IRC or on the forums or in the comments, you probably know that I'm a financially strapped bastard who has yet to purchase a beloved Xbox 360. ...
